Help Us Kill IE6

Internet Explorer 6 has been the bane of just about every professional web developer for at least the last 3 years. It's lack of support for modern web standards and epic rendering quirks have earned it much well-deserved hatred, yet it's broad corporate installation base has forced us to continue to struggle to support it in order for our applications to be accessible by everyone.

Facebook, Digg, and YouTube are the next in a series of major web applications that are preparing to drop support for the antiquated browser, and this is A Good Thing. Many other sites have already made the decision and have no problem bragging about it publicly. Isn't it time you did the same?
